Gemma Donaghy ACA

Client Manager

After completing a maths degree at Queen’s University Belfast, I began my career as an accountant with an accountancy firm in Belfast. My role in this firm allowed me to gain a wide range of experience in VAT preparation, accounts, audit and tax. I worked with various clients from sole-traders to larger companies and charities. As this company was a training firm, I gained invaluable experience in training junior members of staff.

I completed my training and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in November 2015. In February 2017, I started in Hamilton Morris Waugh as a client manager. I have my own client base, to which I am the first point of contact. I love having this contact with my clients and building a good rapport with them. My clients know that I’m only a phonecall or email away! I complete any work required, from accounts, VAT returns, tax returns to queries about cloud software such as Xero. When I’m not working hard on my clients accounts and tax returns, there is often some friendly banter going on in the office, normally at my expense!

When I’m not in work, I’m a proud mum of two girls, Antonia and Georgia.  We enjoy trips to the caravan at the North Coast.
